Common questions about Global Kidney Foundation
- Is Global Kidney Foundation a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. Global Kidney Foundation in Birmingham holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2022. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
- What visa routes can Global Kidney Foundation sponsor?
- Global Kidney Foundation is licensed for Charity Worker and Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Temporary Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
- Where is Global Kidney Foundation based?
- The register lists Global Kidney Foundation at Smithfield House, Digbeth, Birmingham, England, B5 6BS. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
